This summer I got to work with Rock Paper Robot on their Float Table. Magnetized wooden cubes and steel cables hold the pieces together, and can support decorative items up to five pounds. This playful piece merges high design and classical physics.

Another picture from this mornings short trip to Whitley Bay. This is a picture of the Table Rock Baths in its entirety, however, completely underwater at high tide.
Kettle's Yard
Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England, UK
Kettle's Yard House
Between 1958 and 1973 Kettle's Yard was the home of Jim and Helen Ede. In the 1920s and 30s Jim had been a curator at the Tate Gallery in London. Thanks to his friendships with artists and other like-minded people, over the years he gathered a remarkable collection, including paintings by Ben and Winifred Nicholson, Alfred Wallis, Christopher Wood, David Jones and Joan Miro, as well as sculptures by Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, Constantin Brancusi, Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth.
At Kettle's Yard Jim carefully positioned these artworks alongside furniture, glass, ceramics and natural objects, with the aim of creating a harmonic whole. His vision was of a place that should not be
"an art gallery or museum, nor ... simply a collection of works of art reflecting my taste or the taste of a given period. It is, rather, a continuing way of life from these last fifty years, in which stray objects, stones, glass, pictures, sculpture, in light and in space, have been used to make manifest the underlying stability."
Kettle's Yard was originally conceived with students in mind. Jim kept 'open house' every afternoon of term, personally guiding visitors around his home. In 1966 he gave the house and its contents to the University of Cambridge. In 1970, three years before the Edes retired to Edinburgh, the house was extended, and an exhibition gallery added.
Today each afternoon (apart from Mondays) visitors can ring the bell and ask to look around.

Said to be the elephant's closest living relative (the elephant must not have any close relatives), these cat-sized things are found in Africa and the Middle East, and, according to the net: "early Phoenician navigators mistook the rabbits of the Iberian Peninsula for hyraxes (Hebrew Shaphan); hence they named it I-Shapan-im, meaning "land of the hyraxes", which became the Latin word "Hispania", the root of Spain's modern Spanish name España and the English name Spain..."
- For your inner zoologist: "The order first appears in the fossil record over 40 million years ago, and for millions of years they were the primary terrestrial herbivore in Africa. There were many species, the largest @ the weight of a small horse, the smallest the size of a hummingbird. In the Miocene, however, competition from the newly-developed bovids—very efficient grazers and browsers—pushed hyraxes out of the prime territory and into marginal niches... Some of the descendants of the giant hyracoids evolved to become smaller, and gave rise to the modern hyrax family. Others appear to have taken to the water, and ultimately gave rise to the elephant family, and perhaps also the Sirenians (dugongs and manatees). DNA evidence supports this theory, and modern hyraxes share features with elephants such as toenails, excellent hearing, sensitive pads on their feet, small tusks, good memory, high brain functions compared to other similar mammals, and the shape of some of their bones ... They retain a number of early mammal characteristics; e.g. they have poorly developed internal temperature regulation (which they deal with by huddling together for warmth, and by basking in the sun like reptiles)."

AM Radio has recently added a a beautiful wooden drafting table, with T-square, calipers and airplane technical drawings, not to mention some airplane engine parts at the back of the barn at The Refuge and The Expansion.
HDR of a Table Lamp
Made with Photomatix out of 6 pictures. Three images were taken with the camera's AEB function (0,-2,+2 EV) for each of the two areas marked in the picture on this site to get a series for the darker areas and one series that does justice to the glowing bulb.
These were saved in the RAW format and imported into Photomatix Pro 4 where the HDR was created and tone mapped with the Details Enhancer method. I selected the default preset and modified it as follows:
- Strength: 100
- Color Saturation: 33
- Microcontrast: 7
- Smoothing: -2
I played a little with the White Point setting but realized that the default value (0.250) is appropriate here.
After the image was processed, the result was tone mapped again with the same settings. And this result again, was tone mapped another time.
The result of the third tone mapping was then post-processed a little in GIMP.
I copied the image to another layer and blurred it with the gaussian algorithm with x/y values of about 60 (for an image of 5184x3456 pixels) in order to lose all the crisp in this layer and get a smooth version of the image. Then I added a black layer mask (full transparency) to the blurred layer and put it on top of the unmodified layer. I selected a smooth brush and white as front color and set set opacity to 60-80%.
Then I painted the layer mask with this brush in the areas that appeared too rough in the original version, thus merging to some extent the original with the smoothed version of the picture in the selected areas.
I'm very happy with the result, but I'd be happy about some comments, nonetheless. :)
If you know what I can do to get even better results, let me know.
If you like the picture, don't hesitate to tell me so.

Host Farmers: Clare Carver & Brian Marcy, Big Table Farm, Gaston, OR (Portland)
Guest Chefs: Timothy Wastell & Eloise Augustyn, Sweedeedee, Portland, OR
Clare & Brian of Big Table Farm are longtime friends of Outstanding in the Field. Every visit over the years has been magic for both guests & the Outstanding crew. In its annual selection of the Top 100 wines in the world, Wine Spectator honored Big Table’s 2012 Pinot Noir as #11 on the list. OITF commissioned a short film about Big Table a few years back. Timothy Wastell of Sweedeedee was here last year & the consensus of those gathered was wow! All this should lead to multiple exclamations of “my goodness” along the big table at Big Table.
This is a benefit of not cleaning your kitchen table. Magical messy art. All-bran + coffee stain + bread-clip = I love you
A slightly different image, made up of 6 photos i think.. Please let me know which picture you all prefer.
